Emperor: Battle for Dune

Posted by Hemos on from the frank-herbert-is-a-god dept.

webword writes "Westwood Studios has announced that Emperor: Battle for Dune has gone gold and will ship June 12 in North America. The game looks great. Get the screenshots, original music tracks, movies (MPG format), and desktop theme. I'm not a Dune fanatic, but I have to say that this game looks damn good. (I couldn't find any news on a Linux port. Argh!)"

    I already have Myth II, but this would really make my day! Dune II was the first and only game I got hooked on for real. I remember playing it 3 days straight!! Yep, the Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos house campaigns in that order. Of course I was ill for the next 2 days... must had something to do with monitor radiation.. dunno..

    Bring it on!! ... please?!

  2. 3D in RTS games... by DESADE · · Score: 4

    Does anyone else besides me question whether we need 3d in RTS games. I for one, think these new 3D strategy games look much worse than their 2D counterparts. I loved Dune 2000 and the original Dune 2, but this game looks plastic to me.

  3. So what? by slashdoter · · Score: 3
    When is Westwood going to bring something new to the RTS field? Back in the day it was them and Blizzard,( who BTW just released another Warcraft III Film )They kicked ass. But now they seam to haved died, they are still there but I don't see anything that gets me going, ala Warcraft III, Diablo II, and team fortress 2. I might pick this one up on the discount rack but, who knows
